ADHD FTW

A little less than a year ago I got tested for ADHD. The result was a diagnosis I've never heard of - I've got ADHD but it's "in remission." As in, I've had it for so long throughout my entire life, I've successfully built up my own ways of "dealing with it" that it's no longer a major impact. I don't know that I agree with that, but whatever.

I joked with my provider that I frequently achieve "task accomplishment through procrastination." Apparently, I'm not the first to discover this theory.

Right now, though, it's not so much "task accomplishment" as it is "maintain sanity through distraction."

OH MY GOD, I'VE GOT BRAIN SURGERY ON MONDAY!!!

So what, dummy? You've got your Torts final on Sunday.

OH MY GOD, I'VE GOT MY TORTS FINAL ON SUNDAY!!!

So what, dummy? You've got NO JOB and need to work on your job search and applications.

OH MY GOD, I'VE GOT NO JOB!!!

So what, dummy? You've got brain surgery on Monday, get through that first. Not like you're going to be going in for a job interview on Tuesday while you're digesting brain goo.

I've spent MOST of yesterday and today studying torts. Negligence, res ipsa loquitor, Learned Hand, breach of duty. The plus side of being laid off is that I'm able to spend 2-3 hours a day in the study rooms at the local library where nothing can distract me. The other positive is that I've scheduled them so I leave there and pick up Lena from school.
